in the 60s it was a f100 and carried 1000 lbs in the bed so it matched up pretty well as a half ton truck. In the 1970s a 5/8 ton became a selling point initially as a camper special by chevrolet iirc.. and finnally all f100s were drop and became f150s.

In 1985 a f250 diesel had the same springs and frame as a gas model f350. Due to the heavier engine and torque increase you got the 350 payload by simply ordering a 250 diesel.
